How was the selection process at this SB? Did you have to do a psychometric test, a writing test, participate in group discussion, get interviewed by HR and then get interviewed by panel?

Quite straight forward, just 1 writing test and a panel interview with the department folks you are applying for and HR. These 2 events happen on the same day (writing test first then department interview).

Assuming you make it past here, the next round will be with someone from the senior management, probably 3rd-4th ranked guy in the organisation. Though I believe this round is more for formality as the department would have most likely chosen you to join their team, and would like to let the senior management screen you once more.

All in all, from the time you get the call by HR to go for interview, to the time you land the offer, I'd say about 1-1.5 months.

Of course one needs to be accountable, just highlighting the point that civil service is no longer as 'civil' as it used to be, and in some cases, your own bosses will not bother to shield you either. So yes, a lot more accountability and ownership of work at officer level, particularly in the policy roles.

Were you in mx12 when you left the ministry? What was your performance grading?

Did the HR at the SB enquire about your MX grade? Eg. Whether you were in mx12 etc.

I'm wondering whether they would do some sort of pegging of grades, even though the two schemes are different.

Ya was on MX12 when i left, left on C+.

The SB HR didnt enquire about my mx grade, n just told me matching my last drawn wasn't an issue. I didn't ask for more pay since i took a year break and they just gave a 5% increment over the last drawn. As for the scale here, we just go by senior officer lvl 1 onwards, with 1 being the entry level.

After the interview with the senior management, how long did HR take to make you the offer?

About 1 week.

Does anyone know how the culture in MOM is like?
